    I feel that if we're talking about janky shit 360 tier 1-fetishing dudebro wank, the abortifact that is Rogue Warrior needs to be highlighted, ridiculous end credits song notwithstanding.

    I played through that multiple times for the cheevos. I look back on the sad shitty sack that I used to be and whisper plaintively "why?" It must've taken me longer to do that than it took Rebellion to whack the game together.




    Upon further consideration, I'm still a sad cunt, just one with more pressing time constraints.


    There was some other piece of shit I played through three or four times because the achievements didn't stack, its name escapes but it was diabolical. Bollocks: The Turdening or something.

    Treating games I don't like as distinct from games that are actually bad, I'm struggling to come up with many recent candidates.

    I'd probably have to go back as far as the Wii with it's sizeable contingent of games that I'd consider bad due to actual problems with the controls etc.

    Twilight Princess (Wii) - Some questionable choices here. Consider; Mashing a button a hundred times to cut some grass, versus having to jerk and spaz a Wii remote a hundred times to perform the same task.

    Then you realise there's no point to picking rupees up anyway and the game is piss easy.

    Legendary and Turning Point for the 360 made by the shitty of shittiest devs Spark Unlimited. They miraculously managed to make unreal engine 3 look terrible. A true feat.

    The only game I can recall being so bad that it made me cross is Sky Surfer on PS2.

    The dizzy games were shit as well just for their pure sadistic difficulty levels.

    Still a far second to borderlands though.

    @ibenam They ported the first Dizzy game to iOS a few years back, with a load of visual and quality of life improvements. I really enjoyed it.

    But yes, in their original form, those games were terrible.

    @anephric Oh hell, yes, I forgot about Rogue Warrior. That was an absolute pile of wank and a good contender for "worst game of its generation", alongside those shovelware Wii titles.

    Star Wars: Masters of Teras Kasi

    Dear Esther. That was just horrible. Walking really slowly whilst a narrator talks rubbish at you.

    And it's not the genre I dislike, there are some games like it that I quite like.

    @andytheadequate I didn't hate Dear Esther. Quite liked it, in a cautious "nice place to visit, wouldn't want to live there" kind of way.

    But the mention of walking simulators reminds me that Gone Home was the single worst game ever made, bar none.

    Not one game, but mindless mobile games like flabby turd and Candy C* Saga. Mindless games, but even worse, are still produced by mindless people every minute.

    It really is a problem. You can't see the gems, among the spam anymore.

    Manhunt 2. I'm biased because I worked on it and for far far too long. Utter abhorrent shit on every level.

    I actually quite enjoyed Gone Home.

    King of limbo

    I love a shit game, it's like eating McDonalds, if you eat steak all the time you'd be bored of it. So a pallette cleanser every now and again makes you appreciate a good steak.

    Nickelodeon party blast was utter dog shit though, truly a spectacular piece of trash.

    ...one of the few game which had Invader zim in it though, so it gets some love for that.

    see the wii port of Okami. There’s a reason tp GameCube costs a fortune, it’s a great game but waggle ruined it for many.

    Other than that the wii split control was awesome for most things imo, even the shovel ware was a step above the what the ps2 had.

    Xxx bmx anyone? Or any rockstar game

    This is a lot harder than you'd think as games tend more towards the bland and forgettable more than actively terrible.

    This talk of motion controls did remind me of Lair on the PS3 however...

    Maybe not the worst game I've played, but the first Homefront game is definitely one of them. Gameplay was appalling.

    That's weird, I expected to hate Gone Home but actually quite enjoyed it. I think I enjoyed the setting of the old house more than the corridor of Dear Esther, felt a bit more like I was exploring rather than just pressing up on the d-pad.

    Oh yeah, that was crap. I played just passed the tutorial and promptly stopped.

    All the examples I can think of from the last ten years or so are more boring time sinks than genuinely unplayable shite

    Like Dragon Age Inquistion is a game I've come to resent as a grindy bland waste of time but it was probably a bigger technical achievement than DA2 (which I consider a more fun experience)

    It's clearly not the worst game ever made, but I would say that I rated Assassin's Creed III a solid 2/10 and is one of the worst games I've ever played. Can't remember any features as to why it was a 2 rather than a 1, probably because technically it was broken but playable.

    Can't think of any other game I dislike as much as that.
